Just think of how many children's' lives in Africa could be saved with the
resources used to support the world's first surviving set of septuplets, born
in Des Moines, Iowa to Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey. The septuplets were
conceived by this devoutly religious couple (who already had one child) as the
result of fertility drugs. They declined selective reduction to reduce the
number of infants, saying that they would "put it in God's hands", but really
so they could exploit setting a new record. At least some of the money from
selling their story will be used for the children's' medical problems,
including cerebral palsy and spinal surgery.
